St. Katharina, Gothic church in Eschwege, Germany
The three-nave hall church features eight slender round pillars supporting network vaults, star patterns, and cross-shaped architectural elements throughout the structure.
Construction of St. Katharina began in 1374 with the tower, followed by the sacristy in 1436 and the choir in 1474, completing the nave structure by 1492.
After the introduction of the Reformation to Hesse in 1527, St. Katharina transformed from a Catholic place of worship to an evangelical parish church.
The church stands 75 meters tall and contains an 1839 organ by Eobanus Friedrich Krebaum with 31 registers across two manuals and a pedal system.
Archaeological excavations in 1998 uncovered foundation remains of an earlier church matching the length but narrower than the current St. Katharina structure.
